steven and jack each bought tickets years ago from american that gave them unlimited. let me repeat that word, unlimited first class travel for life. they paid handsomely for those tickets. they paid nearly $350,000 a piece. mr. vroom flew 37 million miles, that's roughly equivalent to 67 trips to the moon and back. in one month, flying to nova scotia, maine, denver and ft. lauderdale. the l.a. times reports that a guy named mike joyce flew round trip to london from los angeles 16 times in 25 days. now, one trip kills me. you'd imagine for this incredible devotion to air travel, they'd be treated like royalty. something like what happens to george clooney in this scene when he reached the 10 million miles mark. >> our pilot has just informed me that we're passing over the city of debuke which may not mean much to most of you, but means a lot to one of our passengers today, because he just hit 10 million miles. >> when
